Ihave had a call from Kritsman.

Ienclose his notes and mine on his plan.

Pleaseread them and return with a couple of words of
comment.

Iam worried (especially) about two aspects of the matter:

(1)Isit possible to transfer theCommission for
Utilisationto the State Planning Commission otherwise than as aw ho/e?

ifnot, is it possible to reduce its staffs in transferring
it as a whole?

(2)shallwe not in fact leave thePeople’s
Commissariats without controlif the Commission for Utilisation is
transferred to the State Planning Commission?

(whatare the measures against this? what are the
guarantees against this? This backing by the
departments of the plan to transfer the Commission for
Utilisation to the State Planning Commission, is it
perhapsself-seekingin the worst sense?)

30/XI.Lenin

Oneother thing: is it possible not to combine (in one
way or another) the distribution of foodstuffs with the
distribution of
bank-notes?[1]

Utilisation of Material Resources under the C.L.D., drawn up by
